Wed Or hy appt. - The voters of Oregon have spoken But what did they say' That's a question observers of the scene in Salem are pondering following balloting during last week s general election Despite a preponderance of registered Democrats. Oregonians followed suit with voters in all but one other state and returned Republican President Ronald Reagan to office for a second term At the same time they reelected all congressional incumbents three Republicans and three Democrats When it came to statewide offices, voters reelected GOP Attorney General Dave Krohnmayer. elected appointed State Treasurer Bill Rutherford from the same party and chose Democratic candidate Barbara Roberts to be their next Secretary of State Coupled with result* of other statewide partisan contests, electing a Democrat to the latter office for the first time in more than a century doesn’t exactly establish a trend or hint a switch in the electorate s philosophical persuasion There are those, however, who view the ultimate outcome of legislative races as an indication the 63rd Legislative Assembly w ill be a more conservative body when it convenes in regular session Monday. January 14 That premise appears to be based largely on the all important numbers game lawmakers play when they meet in Salem In legislative parlance there are two magic number* 16 and 31 They represent majorities in the 30 member Senate and 60 member House of Representatives respectively Whichever party achieves those numberi or more in the two chambers pretty much controls the manner in which the Assembly's business is conducted and the ultimate outcome of issues brought before it Democrats have maintained sustantial majorities in both House and Senate since achieving that goal during the elections of 1972 I'urrent Democratic party domination of the legislature has extended for the longest period in the state's history Prior to the present 14 year string. Demos only controlled House and Senate sim ultaneously twice in the middle Thirties and three times in the late Fifties and early Sixties Voters this year opted to extend Democrat control of the Oregon legislature (or at least two more years But some observers see erosion of (hat control as an indication the next Assembly w ill be more conservative Final figures in the latest Salem numbers game won't hr known until all votes are counted, of course, and any possible recounts are tallied and challenges resolved Ijite results are due in part to extensive efforts by Republican candidates to influence absentee voters, most of whose ballots are not totalled until long after polls close As election week drew to a close however, it appeared Republicans had gained at least three Senate seats and might pick up a fourth That would raise their numbers to t2 or 13- as large or larger than their minority numbers have been since 1972 That possibility is particularly encouraging (o GOP Senators, whose numbers dwindled to as low as six in 1976 and rose only to nine in 1982 ( hi the House side it appeared Republicans had a clear net gain of only one seat hut late vote counting could raise that number two more for a total of 27 While still four short of m ajority status, that many Republican House member* coupled with conservative Democrats could produce a moderate voting stance when it comes to considering liberal issues The 1983 Assembly was considered a moderate body prior to convening its IHHday second longest session in history that collapsed in disarray over inability lo achiev e consensus on rev enue reform That pre session forecast was based largely on the fact the 62nd legislature contained a sizeable number of experienced members and few inexperienced newcomers Depending on the outcome of late ballot counting, the 63rd Assembly will contain an almost identical number of inexperienced newcomers The mix of male and female House and Senate members won't change much either although women will sustain a total net loss in numbers of two or three Some observer* give the split of sexes some consideration, believing that men generally are more conservative leaning on social issues one thing that apparently failed again to materialize at the polls was a solid indication that voters were as critical of the last Assembly as was indicated by news coverage last session Balloting did creat a citizen utility board, a state lottery, restore the death penalty and establish a degree of environmental overkill regarding naturally occurring radioactive waste all issues considered and discarded by the last Assembly But a whisker thin majority of voter* resisted the temptation to compound Oregon * revenue dilemma by adopting the oft-proposed 111 percent property tax limitation And voting did not force any mass exodus of incumbents Taken together, the message conveyed by voters at general election polls is far from sharply defined And although it's obvious they did speak, one has to await the outcome of deliberations in Salem next year to determine how loudly and if anyone heard Births D.A. 8 Report John I onur Kilkrnnv-a son.
